Fallen Soldier

He was a brave, young soldier
Not afraid to fight
Not afraid to protect his country, family, and friends
Not afraid to join the marines and go off to fight
He said it was his calling
What he was meant to do
When he was called to go overseas he went with no questions why
Just left behind his family and loved ones
No one knew when his time would come
No one thought he would died so soon, so young
He was only 19, had his whole life ahead of him
But he died for his country
He died protecting and defending our freedom and rights
You went with pride, you went with honor
You may no longer be with us but you are safe now in a better place
You were loved by many and will be greatly missed
You are a true hero and wont be forgotten
God bless your family in these hard times
Thank you for serving our country so bravely
May you now rest in peace!
RIP Lance Corporal Travis Layfield 1984-2004

| I am so sorry to hear of your loss. We all (Americans) love our freedom. The fact is, however, there are few people willing to die for that freedom. Your emotion is palpable in this poem. Your poem demonstrates what true bravery is...Thank you. |
